Monday 4 27 20 morning call

Plenty action at Hookipa yesterday.


4am significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Barbers
1.2ft @ 13s from 189° (S)

Lanai
1ft @ 11s from 205° (SSW)
0.7ft @ 13s from 194° (SSW)
0.6ft @ 15s from 198° (SSW)

Not much else in the water, so the buoys can register slivers of southerly energy, which will make for tiny waves. Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

North shore
Pauwela
4ft @ 9s from 42° (NE)
3.2ft @ 7s from 62° (ENE)

NW energy is completely gone, but 4ft 9s of windswell will still give Hookipa and the eastern exposures some small waves. A couple of days like this, then a moderate NW bump from the angular spreading fetch you see below late Wednesday.

Wind map at noon (the other ones can be found at link n.-2 of GP's meteo websites list in the right column).
